First Corian Project

[Larry Folk]

After reading all that I could find here on the site about corian I decided to do a trophy job in corian. I went to my local countertop supplier and found enough scrap to do the job.
I have someone close to me that has a shopbot so they cut all of the pieces for me from my cad files. I engraved at 60 dpi at 80 power and 100 speed. These are 3 color, so that took some time, so I may not always do that in the future. I made a total of 12 trophies.
The small pieces were glued to the main slab to make the bases. The tallest one is 18" high and the shortest one is 8" high.

I think that I can say that I am hooked on corian.

What's not to like about Corian--you did a GOOD job with it!!! Now, for some real fun resaw it to 1/8" and use the laser to cut out various shapes and inlay into contrasting wooden boxes and then engrave the tops! See you in the spring ;)

[Dee Gallo]

Those are EXCELLENT, Larry! Gotta love corian, eh? Your design is so much fun and in keeping with the subject, too. Well done!

cheers, dee

[Dan Hintz]

Nice design... hope you noticed that "Advanced" was spelled incorrectly before handing them out, though.

[Mike Null]

Great job, great design! As Dan points out,eye paralysis is one of the hazards of engraving. I can't tell you how many times i've proofed an item only to have my laser mis-spell it.;)

[Michael Hunter]

Don't blame yourself (or the laser) - these problems started when keyboard production moved to China.

[Larry Folk]

Yes I saw the mistake. Just sanded the word off, reengraved, painted and sanded. Can not tell it was fixed.

[Mike Null]

Another advantage of Corian!

[Viktor Voroncov]

How you make trophies shapes? Manual or with CNC router?

[Larry Folk]

Viktor,
The shapes were done with cad and cut with a cnc router.

[Gary Hair]

Outstanding Larry!!!

I'm a huge fan of Corian plaques and such but I never would have come up with that design - it's perfect!

I have a dirty mind and will not say what I saw at first glance.....

But man those are awesome ! People around here are such a talented bunch, hopefully some will rub off !
